Bill Summary

Amends the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act. Provides that no day and temporary labor service agency may send a day or temporary laborer to a place where a strike, a lockout, or other labor trouble exists without providing, at or before the time of dispatch, a statement, in writing and in a language that the day and temporary laborer understands, informing the day or temporary laborer of the labor dispute and the day or temporary laborer's right to refuse the assignment without prejudice to receiving another assignment. Provides that a day or temporary laborer who is assigned to work at a third party client for more than 60 calendar days shall be paid not less than the rate of pay and equivalent benefits as the lowest paid directly hired employee of the third party client with the same level of seniority at the company and performing the same or substantially similar work on jobs the performance of which requires substantially similar skill, effort, and responsibility, and that are performed under similar working conditions. Provides that upon a reasonable belief that a day and temporary labor service agency or a third party client is in violation of any part of the Act, an interested party may initiate a civil action in the county where the alleged offenses occurred or where any party to the action resides. Provides that before the assignment of an employee to a worksite employer, a day and temporary labor service agency must: (i) inquire about the client company's safety and health practices and hazards at the actual workplace where the day or temporary laborer will be working; (ii) provide training to the day or temporary laborer for general awareness safety training for recognized industry hazards the day or temporary laborer may encounter at the client company's worksite; (iii) transmit a general description of the training program; (iv) provide the Department of Labor's hotline number for the employee to call to report safety hazards and concerns as part of the employment materials provided to the day or temporary laborer; and (v) inform the day or temporary laborer who the day or temporary laborer should report safety concerns to at the workplace.

AI Summary

This bill makes several key changes to the regulation of day and temporary labor service agencies in Illinois: 1. It establishes a new right for day or temporary laborers to refuse assignments to a workplace with a labor dispute without facing retaliation. 2. It requires day and temporary labor service agencies to provide equal pay and equivalent benefits to day or temporary laborers assigned to a third-party client for more than 90 days, compared to the lowest paid directly hired employee of the client performing the same or substantially similar work. 3. It allows "interested parties" (organizations monitoring compliance with laws and regulations) to file civil actions against day and temporary labor service agencies or third-party clients for violations of the Act, with the interested party receiving a portion of any penalties assessed. 4. It increases the maximum civil penalties for violations, from $6,000 to $18,000 for the first violation and from $2,500 to $7,500 for repeat violations within 3 years. 5. It imposes new safety-related responsibilities on both day and temporary labor service agencies and third-party clients, including requirements for safety assessments, training, and communication. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen protections and rights for day and temporary laborers in Illinois, increase compliance and enforcement of labor laws, and improve workplace safety for this vulnerable population of workers.
